Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
MobileIron VSP < 5.9.1 and Sentry < 5.0 has a weak password obfuscation algorithm

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

MobileIron VSP (Virtual Smartphone Platform) versions prior to 5.9.1 and Sentry versions prior to 5.0 contain a weak password obfuscation algorithm, allowing attackers to potentially recover or crack stored passwords due to insufficient cryptographic protection.

MitigationUpgrade MobileIron VSP to version 5.9.1 or later and Sentry to version 5.0 or later to obtain the strengthened password obfuscation algorithm. Consider resetting administrator passwords after the upgrade as a precautionary measure.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed MobileIron product
    Check which MobileIron component is deployed in your environment: Virtual Smartphone Platform (VSP) or Sentry. This is typically visible in your product documentation, license information, or admin console.
    Affected if Either VSP or Sentry is present in the environment
  2. Determine VSP version
    Access the VSP admin console or check system information. The version is usually displayed in the console header, under 'About' or 'System Settings'.
    Affected if Installed VSP version is earlier than 5.9.1
  3. Determine Sentry version
    Access the Sentry admin console or check system information. The version is typically visible in the console under 'About' or 'System Settings'.
    Affected if Installed Sentry version is earlier than 5.0

Your environment is affected if you are running any version of MobileIron VSP prior to 5.9.1 or Sentry prior to 5.0, as these versions contain the weak password obfuscation algorithm.
